Causes
In celebration of Diwali, we are thrilled to announce that Simply Gifted has dedicated 10% of our total profits to support the Karya Siddhi Hanuman Temple. This festival of lights is a time of giving and gratitude, and we’re honored to contribute to a cause that means so much to our community. In the coming weeks, our team will personally visit the temple to make this donation and show our appreciation. Thank you for helping us make this meaningful gesture possible—your support lights the way for us to give back.
